In this episode, I dive deep into something I’m really passionate about; pleasure. Not the kind that’s marketed to us with spa packages or luxury retreats (though those can be lovely), but something even more powerful and intimate: pleasure as a healing, regenerative resource that we can cultivate and use to replenish our bodies and minds in our everyday lives. Pleasure isn’t self indulgence, or selfish, it's a sacred life-giving force. It’s how we come back to ourselves when we’ve been stretched too thin, when the world feels too loud, and when our nervous systems are fried from constant doing and over giving. It's also a portal to what is deeply true for you at your core. Today I explore how pleasure can bring your bodies back into balance and homeostasis and how pleasure is deeply tied to self-worth, boundaries, and healing the stories we’ve inherited from our lineages. Pleasure isn't something you have to earn. It’s something your body, soul, and nervous system deeply needs for health and wellbeing. And so my invitation to you is to reflect on what your own  personal "pleasure jam" is, what lights you up, fills your cup, and makes you feel alive again. My intention for you today is for you to walk away with inspiration to reconnect with those little (or big) joyful things, and maybe even reframe pleasure as the most powerful wellness tool you have access to.          ===LINKS: ===   •FREE Breast Massage Meditation: www.vilates.com/free-breast-massage-meditation •Anatomy of Pleasure Masterclass Waitlist:  https://www.vilates.com/priority-waitlist2025 •Website: www.vilates.com •Rebirth 1:1 coaching: https://www.vilates.com/the-rebirth-intimate-coaching •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vilates_/ •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fs2KlkHNzICKAg2crZSMB •Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ecology-of-intimacy-podcast/id1772602980   ===....Disclaimer This podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.
